How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Before Gu Heng could react, a warm and soothing sensation spread from both ears to his brain...

Gu Heng’s pupils dilated instantly...

Because Xu Ying was tiptoeing, reaching up to cover his ears, and there was a light smile on her face, her beautiful eyes gazing into his...

Gu Heng: ""???""

Was the hint that obvious?

Even if the hotel offered some special service, there was no need to be so eager, right???

There were other people in the elevator!

But unsaid was the fact that, with the cold weather outside, a pair of warm hands gently covering one’s ears felt quite comfortable...

It was for that reason Gu Heng didn’t resist and just quietly enjoyed the sensation...

The elevator attendant seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, showing no change in expression, continuing to stand straight by the buttons...

In less than a minute, with the "ding" of the bell, the elevator reached the floor of the 230 Sky Hotel...

Removing her hands from Gu Heng’s ears, Xu Ying softly chuckled and said, ""We’ve arrived at your room, Mr. Gu, welcome home.""

The warmth disappeared from his ears, and Gu Heng felt a bit of discomfort, but he still stepped out of the elevator.

Looking at Xu Ying who was dragging her suitcase and following beside him, he couldn’t help but place his hands over his own ears and demonstrate as he asked, ""What was that just now?""

"You see, the elevator we just rode is a high-speed elevator, ascending at a speed of 5 meters per second, plus the height of our hotel is 230 meters, some people may feel uncomfortable during the elevator’s travel, covering your ears in advance can somewhat reduce this discomfort,"

"This is similar to how flight attendants prepare earplugs in advance for passengers on airplanes."

Hearing Xu Ying’s explanation, Gu Heng gave an embarrassed cough...

He really was a bumpkin...

She was merely considering his physical well-being, and there he was, thinking she was hinting at some special service...

Hearing Gu Heng’s cough, Xu Ying hastily asked, ""Mr. Gu, do you feel any discomfort?""

"Uh... no, no, I was just thinking how considerate your service is.""

"Thank you for your compliment, it’s our duty to do so.""

As they talked, they walked through a corridor full of a futuristic vibe, and Xu Ying, holding an opulent-looking card, performed a simple operation next to the door which then automatically opened...

[Welcome to the 230 Sky Hotel]

As a synthesized electronic voice sounded, Xu Ying also stood beside, smiling as she gestured invitingly, ""Mr. Gu, please come in.""

After entering, the room felt fundamentally different from the sci-fi corridor; although it was not bad, it wasn’t as luxurious as Gu Heng had anticipated...

Not only was it less luxurious than he had imagined, but it also felt a bit cramped compared to the presidential suite he had stayed in at the Park Hyatt Hotel...

Of course, this feeling of being cramped is relative to other hotels of the same class; compared to an ordinary three-bedroom apartment, it was still spacious.

Seemingly not noticing Gu Heng’s thoughts, Xu Ying continued to introduce, ""This is the living room of our hotel, the other side is the bar and leisure area. Mr. Gu, if you have friends coming over, this area can fully meet your needs for hosting a party.""

Hotel standards are pretty much the same, and Gu Heng didn’t listen too attentively but instead walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows... n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The Oriental Pearl Tower offers the best views in the Lujiazui area, especially from the high floors at 230 meters, where you can capture the entirety of Lujiazui and the glitz of The Bund at a glance.

As a 5A national tourist spot and a landmark building of Shanghai, maybe as time goes by, more and more buildings will surpass it. But the Oriental Pearl Tower, being one of the first soaring structures of Hua Country, has a sense of permanence that will never fade.

We may not match the height of the neighboring J Hotel, but just this sense of permanence alone is enough to crush them.

There’s nothing else to it, it’s simply because our hotel is situated on the marvelous Oriental Pearl Tower!"

After saying so, she turned to Gu Heng with a proud smile...

However, Gu Heng just looked back at her with a strange expression...

I’m just an uncultured man spending 48,000 to stay here for enjoyment.

Talking about a sense of permanence to me...

I have no sentimental attachment to Shanghai, what do I understand about a sense of permanence?

If the hardware can’t compete, they sell sentiments instead, it figures... No matter how high-end, every hotel is the same around the world... But she did remind me of something; after today, I might as well try out that J Hotel Xu Ying mentioned...

Seeing that her words hadn’t persuaded Gu Heng, Xu Ying had no choice but to awkwardly continue introducing other places...

It took more than ten minutes to finish introducing the four floors...

Gu Heng gave his final evaluation in his mind...

The value of 48,000 was 30,000 because the hotel was built on the Oriental Pearl Tower...

Another 8,000 was for some privilege services...

In other words, in his opinion, the actual price of this hotel room was only worth about 10,000...

"Mr. Gu, are you satisfied?"

He had already checked in, and the payment of 48,000 had been made the night before when he booked, so even if he wasn’t satisfied, he could only grit his teeth and stay...

And it wasn’t that he was particularly dissatisfied; he simply felt it wasn’t worth the price of 48,000...

"It’s okay, I guess."

Gu Heng’s simple response of "it’s okay" caused Xu Ying’s heart to tighten...

Throughout the introduction, she had sensed Gu Heng’s lackluster enthusiasm...
